What causes these?!!!!...lol😄........I'm literally stumped. I know I ain't a chub either.

Not that it's a bad thing but lately been reaching a very good slim slim weight 135lbs 28x32 waistline (5 ft 7 inches tall)

and yet my breasts are getting firmer(my mom won't stop bugging me and threating me if I'm using hormones)

Is this really gymnocomastia?

Like I was uncertain or borderline thinking it was beforehand but maybe this must be the case.

Is this genetic?

Any other guys have this?(Pre-hrt wise?)

Do you use any hormones or anti-androgens? If so, from what I have read that is a common side effect.

Have you thought about using tamoxifen or some other anti-estrogens to combat it?

I personally don't have any knowledge to bestow you, only from what I have read on this website and others.

Best wishes 😀D

I'm using only androcur, and I have really hit hard by gymnocomastia.

It started about 8-9 month after I started using it.

Its also not my weight, I'm 6ft tall and 149lbs

Im using tamoxifen now, and it has stopped growing, but it didn't get any less either.

I'm not using any hormones or antiandrogens yet. I will at some point when I move away from house but that won't be for a while

I don't mind living with it just kinda curious if this gymnocomastia was common with other users on the EA?

I have mentioned beforehand my low T and excessive DHT

Does anyone else have a similiar issue in your family? Could perhaps be genetic?

I think it is genetic. But hard to tell. My cousins have huge moobs but are chubba-lubbas(pretty fat)

My dad has moobs but it's due to old age.(he's 70)

What I can say is this sometimes my nipples get sensitive and tender.They do not hurt mind you

I have actually been having the same feeling recently since I started taking proscar. They haven't developed for me, they just seem to hurt slightly when I move about if that makes sense? ;)

Also, its only 1mg and I haven't been on them for very long so I am a bit worried.

I remember when I was in puberty, I had small puffy tits, but that was normal the doctor said.

When I was all grown up, it was gone, but I guess I had tendency to it.

If I had been fat the moobs situation would have grown outta control.

I wonder sometimes if it's due to the pesticides or GMO's from veggies, corn, and fruit that aren't organic.

When I can afford organic it's great but when I can't it's bummer.

Be great to have someone discuss about xeno-estrogens and phyto estrogens.

Be it livestock or produce

Iv'e had moobs since grade 8

And perhaps because of being on androcur, you are now more suceptible to it cause of low testosterone and your general genetics.

From what you've said and your own experience, would you advise taking tamoxifen from the start with androcur?
